Lots of Random Stuff

So I think I am going to post of a bunch of random things, since it seems that the last few have been pretty heavy laden. So first off today I had to speak in church. Now for some that may be no big deal but for me, the introvert that likes small groups, the one who is not fond of being center of attention, the one who's husband is in the bishopric and thus should get a free pass from speaking had to speak.




The topic I spoke on was an amazing one luckily (the importance of teaching children gospel principles) but nonetheless I wanted to put Lindsay in the time out corner when he told me. See....he's been trying to get me to speak for a while and I have kept telling him no since I didn't think that I should have to ( I would rather crawl into a hole and wither away) but he sooooo nicely came to eat lunch with me at work earlier this week (I should have known something was coming) and sort of half asked and half told me. I tried my hardest to get out of it and then he guilted me into by saying that the Bishop thinks that I do well and that people listen to me because of my "sweet spirit" Hmmmmm somebody did a pretty good job of buttering me up cause I spoke. But it's over with and I am so RELIEVED!




On another note Lindsay so lovingly taught Lola this..........



Isn't that special? Our little puppy now knows how to jump our fence and she showed me how she can go back the other way the next morning as I was leaving for work. It was actually pretty comedic when I looked back at the house to see Lindsay poking his face through the window. When I brought Lola back in there was somehow a big grin wrapped across his face and he was running away from me.....................That Stinker! It's a good thing I Love Him!



This is my lovely friend Ashley who came to visit in January and we got to spend an evening with her and her youngest (little Chloe). Doesn't she look amazing for having given birth one month prior? I can only hope that if I ever give birth that I will look as amazing as her!

My favorite color is ORANGE silly I know.... but I love it so much, it makes my day. I thought it was funny because it has been my favorite color for a long time now and it is now becoming a popular home decor color, how splendid!

I hate grocery shopping

I recently have come out of denial that I am a perfectionist, except with my ART. I would like it to look perfect but don't like to spend that much time so I throw it all out the window.

My favorite movie is LIfe is Beautiful

I am going to attempt to grow a garden this spring.

So there you have it a few random happenings in our house and facts about me. Hope your weekends went well and that this next week finds us all with some sun shinging on our faces.

I have a like/hate relationship with speaking in church! If I prepare really well then I kindof like to speak, also the fact that when it is over you know you don't have to do it for a long while, hopefully. I hate it because I am a hide-in-the-corner-hope-know-one-notices-me kinda girl. I hate being in front of people, it terrifies me. That goes along with saying the prayer at church. I have had to give the prayer in sacrament meeting at least 5 times since we moved to this ward in may.

I also really like the movie "Life is Beautiful"! I remember seeing it in the theater and loving it, we also own it.

Glad that you are blogging more!
